1971
Gottlieb's "Home Run" desirable add a ball single player baseball
themed pinball. Gottlieb's first machine to use the now common large
3" flipper bats. Popular wedge head cabinet design used by Gottlieb
from 1960 thru 1978. During 1971 while playing machines like Play Ball
you may have listened to "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night on your
8 track which spent some time at the top of the charts that year. Home
Run will bring much Joy to you and your family and friends as
Pinrescue rebuilt just about everything on it. Freshly rebuilt October
2019 it is ready for your sports themed game room. Good luck to the
Nationals and the Astro’s in this years World Series.
Interest in vintage pinball is at an all time high. Ten new
pinball manufacturers have sprung up in this decade. The average price
of a brand new pinball machine is well over $6000 with “limited
edition” models running well over $20,000. That makes owning a vintage
pinball machine seem reasonable.
This Home Run is a rare machine low production version of
Gottlieb’s 1971 Playball.
All new flippers, pop bumpers, rubber, lamps, posts, new
playfield glass, new legs on and on and as clean as can be inside and
out. Great condition original cabinet with few cosmetic issues,
excellent original art glass and an excellent playfield.
Collectors quality all original beautiful cosmetics.
Nice baseball graphics everywhere you look fast and fun. Play
Ball features a chime box for 1970's pinball sounds and a retro 6 inch
bell which gongs on every run you score. Two vari targets which score
higher the harder you hit them. Two hundred point bumpers and one
thousand point bumper (which only lights when men are on second and
third).
Four Star rollovers which light up to show men on base
Win extra balls for high scores or Runs scored. Home Run would look
great next to Gottlieb's later Pro Football, Big Hit, Baseball, Grand
Slam and World series none of which we can keep in stock. Perfect for
any sports themed game room. Restoration completed late October 2019.
